Boy, I hate it what work gets in the way of a good thread debating legal issues.
Back in my prosecuting days, I prosecuted a man for Aggravated Burglary, breaking into a home to steal while someone was present. In this case, the wife was home, working in the basement office. She heard the noise, came up the steps, and found Mr. Bad Guy carrying out her TV. She watches him walk out, get in a car, and writes the plate number on the wall with lipstick (all she had). Detectives trace the car back to his girlfriend, who admits he had the car (then tried to back out, but another story). Find the TV in her apartment, with victim's name on the bottom.
Victim comes to court, ID's Bad Guy, all other evidence put on. Vote was 11-1 guilty. The one hold out engaged in jury nullification. She said that the criminal code was biased against minorities and women, as was the entire system. She would never vote to convict any african american man of any criminal offense. Plus, as a good Christian, she must not judge another, lest she be judged.
Set the case for new trial, as it was a hung jury. Bad Guy makes bond this time. Victim is murdered in her home. Bad Guy's bloody handprint and DNA found at the scene. He was convicted of the murder.
How's that for justice???
